I get where you're coming from, but the entire tarball contains one source code file and it's a paltry 89 lines in 1317 bytes. Heck, the man page is a whole 70 bytes bigger than the source code. This is very, very different from, say, Django. I'm not advocating for... whatever it is you're claiming w.r.t. needles and haystacks, only a wee bit of situational awareness when you've already gone so far as to download the code.
And Suckless? Yeah, they're basically the definition of "doesn't care about adoption at all".

Alright, alright haha. Yeah, I did download the code. It was small and seemed understandable. Seemed as there's no telling what assumptions its built against. I've seen code meant to prevent compiler issues, OS issues, timing channels... all sorts of things you wouldn't know just reading the code itself & might have even scrapped. So, I'm still about code coming with a detailed statement of what it does with what environmental assumptions.
On other hand, this could be so plain that the environment or tools don't matter. Maybe.
"And Suckless? Yeah, they're basically the definition of "doesn't care about adoption at all"."
Their page hints at targeting a demographic of pro's tired of bloated BS. I wasn't sure how much they cared. There's some clarification.
